The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) of four 2,7-bis(phenylethenyl)fluorenes (OFPVs) and two 2,7-diphenylfluorenes (OFPhs) are compared to evaluate effects of nonconjugating peripheral substitution and conjugation length on their EL emissions. The OFPVs exhibit very similar PL spectra with 460-480 nm emission maxima but show large variation in the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) efficacy: from a material that does not give persistent emission in test OLEDs (9,9-diheptyl substitution on the fluorene ring) to materials with luminance efficiencies of 0.5 cd A(-1) and greater (9,9-diethyl substitution on the fluorene ring, methoxy and methoxy/heptyloxy substituents on the phenylethenyl rings). The best OFPV in an ITO/PEDOT-PSS/(emitter)/Ca-Al (ITO: indiurn tin oxide; PEDOT: poly(ethylenedioxythiophene); PSS: poly(styrene sulfonate)) OLED configuration has 9,9-diethyl substitution and terminal heptyloxy substitution (maximum luminance of 1500 cd m(-2) at 12 V). Unlike the OFPVs, the neat OFPhs show not only EL at the desired blue output of ca. 400-410 nm emission maxima but also an undesired green emission component at 500-550 nm. Blending the OFPhs with poly(methyl methacrylate) eliminates the long-wavelength component when the emitter load is 10-25 %, but the OFPh luminance efficiencies, turn-on voltages, and maximum luminance tend to be poorer than those of the OFPVs. The deficiencies of the OFPhs appear to be attributable to thermal degradation and oxidative reactivity, although solid-state annealing and a nonoptimal bandgap match to the OLED device configuration may also contribute.

Heterologous expression, characterization, and optimization of production of alpha-galactosidase from aspergillus fumigatus in aspergillus sojae
Gürkök, Sümeyra; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Bölükbaşı, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
α-Galactosidase is an exo-glycosidase that hydrolyses non-reducing, α-1,6-linked α-galactose units from oligosaccharides, galactomannans, and galactolipids. α-Galactosidase activity has biotechnological, industrial, and medical importance. α-Galactosidase from A. fumigatus IMI 385708, in particular, can catalyse unique hydrolysis and transgalactosylation reactions on polymeric substrates. In this study, α-galactosidase of the human pathogen A. fumigatus IMI 385708 was first produced in a GRAS organism, Aspe...
Tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs) based on 1-aryl-3,5-dimethy1-1H-pyrazoles
Özdemir, Melek (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
A series of fifteeen new 1-aryl-2,3,5-trimethylpyrazolium salts ([Ph(R)C(1)Pz][X], R: 4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-Me, 4-OMe, 4-NO2; methyl, X: methanesulfonate tetrafluoroborate [BF4-] and hexafluorophosphate [PF6-]) were synthesized and characterized. Thermal properties (Tm/T-g and Td) of all the salts were investigated, Five of the salts can be classed as ionic liquids since they are liquid at rate time or melt below 100 degrees C three of which are room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The influence of the substitue...
Critical Reading Discourse of Pre Service English Teachers in Turkey
Balıkçı, Gözde; Daloğlu, Ayşegül (2016-05-01)
This case study was conducted in order to observe and investigate the critical reading discourse (CRD) of 27 freshman pre-service teachers of English at the department of foreign language teaching at a state university in Turkey. In addition, the study attempts to answer the question of how the critical reading discourse of the students is shaped through feedback, instruction, and time. The written and audio-visual data were collected in the Advanced Reading and Writing...
RADIATION-INDUCED AND ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ALLYLBENZENE
SOUSY, K; USANMAZ, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 1990-08-01)
Radiation-induced and electroinitiated polymerization of allylbenzene has been investigated. Radiation-induced polymerization at room temperature was found to give mainly dimers and trimers with a maximum yield of 5%. Electroinitiated polymerization of the monomer yielded insoluble polymer films on the surface of the anode together with low molecular weight polymers in the bulk solution. The effects of temperature and monomer concentration on the rate of electroinitiated polymerization were also studied. Th...
